Trump reignites Scarborough feud, calls for reopening of 'cold case' in death of Congress intern
The 'cold case' is apparently related to the death of an intern when Scarborough was in Congress. The death has reportedly been ruled accidental
President Trump on Monday reignited his feud with MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, suggesting parent company Comcast reopen a 'cold case' involving the death of congressional intern when Scarborough was a House member.
“Concast should open up a long overdue Florida Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough,” tweeted Trump, after Scarborough and “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski reported bad polling numbers for Trump and criticized his interpretation during a Sunday night virtual town hall with Fox News of coronavirus statistics.
“I know him and Crazy Mika well, used them beautifully in the last Election, dumped them nicely, and will state on the record that he is ‘nuts’. Besides, bad ratings! #OPENJOECOLDCASE,” the tweet continued.
The president was apparently referring to the case of Lori Klausutis, a 28-year-old intern who was found dead in 2001 in a Scarborough’s then-Fort Walton Beach, Florida, district office when he was a congressman, according to The New York Post.
The death was ruled accidental, with medical examiners concluding Klausutis had passed out because of an undiagnosed heart condition and hit her head on a desk.
Scarborough infamously quit the Republican Party in part over his dissatisfaction with Trump and the GOP.
